Compare Trump and Harris' views on LGBTQ rights and marriage equality
CBSN
Washington — Among the topics voters may consider in the 2024 presidential election are LGBTQ rights — and it's an issue where former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have starkly different messages and backgrounds.
A large majority of Americans support legal protections for LGBTQ people, according to a survey from the Public Religion Research Institute. But support is stronger in blue states than red states, and has declined overall in recent years — especially among Republicans. And support for same-sex marriage has also seen a slight decline.
Meanwhile, 38% of Americans said LGBTQ rights are a factor in their voting decisions, and 30% say they will vote only for a candidate who aligns with them on the issue.
Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday said it will consider the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Fund, agreeing to review a lower court decision that upended the mechanism for funding programs that provide communications services to rural areas, low-income communities and schools, libraries and hospitals.
